Check out the wiki howto page as it now has descriptions for the mesh_param's
http://www.o11s.org/trac/wiki/HOWTO-0.4.2#advancedmesh I think the settings that would speed up the transition would be: *mesh_holding_timeout (time in ms to hold a peer entry before removing it from the peer list, following a peering close request, or other peering timeouts)* * * also* * *mesh_path_refresh_time (how many ms prior to a path expiration should a path refresh be attempted)* *mesh_hwmp_active_path_timeout (the length of time [in TU] that derived forwarding path information will remain valid)* *may help too.* * * Regards, David Fulgham Keep in mind that lowering the timeouts creates more overhead on the mesh. Changes to the parameters are made on each node, so you could keep the timeouts low on nodes that require and leave the others higher.
